Darlington Mowden Park are delighted to announce the signing of Jamie Aureka Maoate Dunn. The front rower joins the club having played for Guernsey Raiders in National Two last season, and will join up with his new teammates later this month. Asked about making the move to the North East, Dunn said: "I am excited to be joining DMP for the 24/25 season as I step into Nat 1 and take on the challenges of a higher division, aiming to develop my skills further and contribute to the team's success."

The 29 year-old is originally from Christchurch, New Zealand, and had represented West Melton in NZ Division 1 before his move to the UK with Guernsey. Operating primarily at loosehead in his time with the Raiders, Dunn can also cover tighthead prop. Director of Rugby Garry Law added: "Looking forward to Jamie getting on board later in the month. A prop with National League experience after playing for Guernsey. He has ambitions to play at the highest level possible, so hopefully DMP will be a good environment for him to flourish. He is going to add some competition for places when he gets fully up to speed with how we operate."
